Being a Technology Leader in a School can be both empowering and daunting. Discovering appropriate resources can allow tech. leaders to share information that will be well received and helpful to fellow educators.
An excellent resource with which to become familiar is FLIPPED LEARNING NETWORK NING. Being a part of this ning allows teachers to network. For a media specialist or technology leader, it has flipped teaching ideas, tips, videos, etc. broken down by content, enabling the tech. leader to be a spokesperson and consultant of useful resources. Flipped Learning Network Ning is helpful to a media specialist who likely collaborates with all teachers, across all content areas. Another great, free tool is Sophia (for teachers). Whether using it to create lessons for teachers, or simply passing it on to teachers in the school, this tool makes transitioning from traditional to flipped learning achievable. The site has teachers who are Flipped Classroom certified, and they have lessons for teachers too, making visits to this site a valuable professional development opportunity. For other ideas on how to be an informed media specialist with resources, refer to the section ISTE Support for the Flipped Classroom (located under the "Background Information" section of this wiki).
